Help with the menopause

Menopause can be a hugely challenging time for many women. However, with access to information, education, advice and emotional support, every woman going through this can better understand what’s going on with their body and emotions, and really take control of their health and wellbeing.

Dates for the next 6-week support group for women affected by the menopause will be announced soon. Places must be booked in advance so please get in touch if you are interesting in joining us.

(For enhanced Covid-safety, this group is currently being delivered online.)

Find out more here or contact us on 01582 416783.

Whether you’re dealing with stress, anxiety, abuse, bereavement or any other distressing issue in your life, it can be easy to feel alone or that everything has moved beyond your point of control. Counselling provides the opportunity to talk with someone about how you’re feeling in a wholly supportive, confidential and non-judgemental environment. At Luton All Women’s Centre, professional counselling is an ongoing and vital part of the holistic support we offer to our clients.
Other groups

Luton All Women's Centre offers a range of support groups for women whose health and wellbeing have been affected by various life-events - including childhood sexual abuse, bereavement and menopause.
